The Talisman of Napoleon Bonaparte The Talisman of Napoleon Bonaparte by G. Randall Jensen The Napoleon Bonaparte Crystal Talisman Summary For information regarding the auction of Napoleon’s Talisman please go to: www.napoleonstalisman.com Napoleon Bonaparte’s personal good luck charm Inspired by the original signet ring of Napoleon’s hero, Emperor Augustus Caesar, whose stamp displayed the image of a sphinx Commissioned by Napoleon after his return from his historic Egyptian campaign The 114 precious jewels are arranged in a secret code to reflect both Napoleon’s successful military & political career and his love for Josephine The initials of “Napoleon Bonaparte” and “Josephine Bonaparte” are coded into the design The encoded date, August 15, 1802, commemorated the simultaneous nationwide celebration of Napoleon’s 33rd birthday, his elevation to Lifetime Consulate status, and the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Concordat The face of the crystal sphinx is that of Josephine sculpted into the pose of one of Napoleon’s favorite paintings: The Mona Lisa Quartz crystal was a material incorporated into the design of ancient Egyptian temples and pyramids Few objects outside of Egypt had ever been sculpted from quartz crystal Lost for nearly 200 years A complex treasure of significant historical importance Copyright 2011 G. Randall Jensen 1 As a means of introducing this interesting and complex piece, let us first take a brief look at the background of Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous Emperor of the French. Napoleon Bonaparte was considered by many to be the most influential figure in European history. Currently, descendents of Napoleon’s wife, Josephine, include the Royal families of Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and Luxembourg. 2 NAPOLEON TIMELINE 1769 Born 1793 Promoted to Brigadier General 1796 Married Josephine de Beauharnais 1798-1799 Egyptian expedition 1799 Assumed provisional control of France 1802 Elected to Lifetime Consulate status 1804 Crowned Emperor 1815 Defeat at Waterloo 1821 Dies in exile After Napoleon returned from Egypt in 1799, he commissioned this spectacular sculpted and jeweled piece of artwork. This was Napoleon’s “talisman” or “good luck charm” as we might call it today. Napoleon spent a considerable amount of time planning the intricate design of the jewels that compose the base of this sphinx. The jewels are arranged in a secret code that reflects Napoleon’s love for his wife, Josephine, and his successful military and political career. DECODING THE SPHINX This clear quartz crystal sphinx sets upon a silver base containing 114 precious stones. These stones are arranged in a specific way to produce an ancient code. The key to unlocking the code of this artifact is the distinct pattern of rubies. There are two hinged panels on the silver base below the sphinx, one on either side. Each panel contains a pattern of rubies that are positioned on either side of a vertical row of four emeralds. This makes four patterns of rubies. Three of the patterns have 21 rubies but the fourth pattern has what appears to be a missing 3 ruby. Instead of having 20 rubies in this pattern as you would expect, it also has 21 rubies just like the other patterns. Upon close examination, it is evident that the empty hole never held a ruby at all. The metal was not crafted to hold a stone. It was intentionally left blank. The missing ruby in the left panel of rubies is the key to unlocking the secret code. This pattern of 21 rubies and a blank hole correlates perfectly to the Tarot code. The Tarot code can trace its roots back to the Egyptian mystery schools of approximately 1500 BC [1]. The Tarot code was based on a numbered system of 21 pictorial cards and a blank card that covertly recorded the ancient knowledge of the Egyptian mystery schools on an ordinary deck of “playing cards.” Each card was numbered and themed (“4” = Emperor, “6” = love, “13” = death, etc.) and, further, each card had symbols that represented different esoteric information. This information could convey very specific meanings to the initiate who understood the system. It was not until the 1700s in France, that information about this ancient system of preserving esoteric knowledge was published by several notable researchers [2]. There is a remarkable complexity to the intricate patterns of the stones and each pattern has meaning. The pattern of four stones repeats exactly 21 times, the same as the number of pictorial cards in a Tarot deck. “Four,” as stated previously, stood specifically for “Emperor” in the Tarot coding [3]. There are four patterns of rubies; the rubies are arranged mostly in rows 4 of four across; there are four vertical emeralds on each side; there are four sapphires aligned along each side of the front; and there are four larger sapphires with the rest being significantly smaller. This pattern of “four” (Emperor) is the dominant coding within the jeweled sphinx. Empress Josephine Bonaparte There are several examples of coded jewelry commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte [4], the ruler of France in the early 1800s. In these pieces, Napoleon coded his initials, “NB,” into the design. Napoleon’s wife, Josephine, used her initials “JB,” on many of her personal items [5]. This sphinx talisman has both Napoleon Bonaparte’s and Josephine Bonaparte’s initials coded into the design. “Josephine” is actually coded into the design twice: first, in a cryptogram within the sculpted quartz crystal sphinx itself where “her” headdress has “ten” indentations or folds, with the tenth letter of the alphabet being “J,” for “Josephine.” Additionally, the body of the sphinx has “three” ribs showing on each side: “three” being the Tarot code for “Empress.” So, the sculpted quartz crystal sphinx is coded “Empress Josephine.” 5 Secondly, the shingles that run along the front edge of the silver base as you are looking directly at the face and into the eyes of “Josephine” as the Sphinx also reveal a cipher. Here, the design of the shingles forms a half circle (in the photo below, the shingles are directly below the flat base that the sphinx is set upon). Of course, a circle is a feminine symbol. This half circle has ten shingles. Again, the tenth letter of the alphabet is “J” for “Josephine.” Additionally, there are two shingles facing forward that are not part of the semi-circle. There is one forward facing shingle on each side of the half circle. This can be expressed “1-10-1.” Adding the two similar, forward facing shingles, that are not part of the “circle,” together produces “two.” This is for the second letter of the alphabet, “B” for “Bonaparte.” On each side of the silver base there are “three” remaining, but connected, shingles. “Three” is the Tarot coding for “Empress.” Thus, deciphering the coding of the shingles reveals “Empress Josephine Bonaparte.” Overall, there are 114 precious stones plus the quartz crystal sphinx. This can be expressed as “114 +1.” The centered “14” represents the 14th letter of the alphabet, “N” for Napoleon. There is a “1” on either side of the “14” (1-14-1). 1+1 = “2” for the second letter of the alphabet, “B” for “Bonaparte.” Thus, the sum of all the jewels in this work of art is coded “Napoleon Bonaparte.” This is the same exact pattern of name coding as Josephine’s code (1-10-1), which has ten, centered shingles (“J” for “Josephine”) and an additional shingle on each side (“B” for “Bonaparte”). Napoleon’s favorite color was green *6]. The vertical alignment of the four green emeralds rising to the underside of the sphinx (where a small circular attachment ring is located) can be interpreted as a phallic symbol showcasing “Emperor” Napoleon’s amorous feelings for Josephine, embodied by the sphinx. The emeralds are surrounded by red rubies. Red is a symbol of passion and love as well as being another connection to Josephine as she originally went by the name of “Rose.” Napoleon preferred her middle name “Josephine” which she used after their 1796 marriage. Also, the “three” side 6 shingles are in very close proximity to the “four” sapphires followed by “six” trailing sapphires. Again, this is Tarot coding for “Empress,” “Emperor,” and “Lovers.” The right rear ruby pattern (see the photo below) has the date August 15, 1802 coded into the design. That date commemorated Napoleon’s 33rd birthday, the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Concordat, and Napoleon’s Life Consulship which was celebrated that day in Paris with fireworks, dancing, and a massive 35 foot tall star made of candles that burned through the night. The actual coding involves eight horizontal rows for the eighth month, August; 15 rubies before a blank area for the 15th day of the month; and the blank spot followed by two rubies for ’02 or 1802. The right rear ruby pattern also has “three” rubies across instead of four like the other three patterns. This “Empress” pattern has the eight vertical rows of rubies that in the Tarot represent the female figure of “Justice,” who is seated upon a throne. This card contains the reminder that a man’s or woman’s actions can be the cause of their own undoing *7+ and this could certainly be applied to Josephine’s behavior at this period of time in her relationship with Napoleon. Also, “three” (Empress) repeats four times within the arrangement of rubies indicating that the “Empress” is governed by the “Emperor.” The ruby pattern on the left has the date August 15, 1802 coded into the design. 7 The other three (“Emperor”) ruby patterns have seven vertical rows of rubies, instead of eight like the pattern with the date coded into it.

  • No. 148 Patric Jean, Napoléon, David
    H-France Review Volume 6 (2006) Page 641 H-France Review Vol. 6 (December 2006), No. 148 Patric Jean, Napoléon, David: The Image Enthroned. Brooklyn, N.Y.: First Run / Icarus Films, 2005. VHS, 51 minutes. Color and black and white. $390.00 U.S. Review by Wayne Hanley, West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Few people in history have understood the political and propagandistic potential of visual imagery more than either Napoleon Bonaparte or the artist Jacques-Louis David. During the Revolution, David’s paintings were hailed for their revolutionary import, and his public festivals, such as the Fête of the Supreme Being, helped to spread revolutionary ideology to the masses. Napoleon made careful use of artists such as Antoine-Jean Gros, Andrea Appiani and David to help create his public image and ultimately to enable his coup d’état of 18-19 Brumaire (9 November 1799) and the creation of the empire.[1] It should not be surprising, then, that in 1804, Napoleon named David “First Painter of the Empire” and commissioned him to memorialize the coronation with a series of four paintings, the most famous of which is The Coronation of Napoleon I, the subject of this documentary. This monumental canvas represents the last of David’s propagandistic pieces, and in many ways it is his greatest. In it, as the Belgian writer and director Patric Jean ably demonstrates in his documentary Napoléon, David: The Image Enthroned, one can see all the grandeur (and illusion) of the Napoleonic Empire. Jean, whose previous documentaries include La raison du plus fort (which explores the social and cultural issues of immigration, race, and crime), sets the stage of this documentary with a discussion of David’s artistic and political background, of Napoleon’s meteoric rise to power, and of the relationship between the artist and the future emperor.

  • Common and Noteworthy Instruments from 1750S-1800S' Eastern
    Common and Noteworthy Instruments from 1750s-1800s’ Eastern USA Emory Jacobs Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Scott Marosek Department of Music During the 1700s and 1800s, residents of the eastern seaboard of North America enjoyed a wide variety of instruments, many of them built for “contrast and variety.”1 Availability, on the other hand, was a different story. While few accounts of the musical scene in that time period exist for more rural settings, records of the area and the events of the period from 1750 through the 1800s paint an interesting picture of how specific social classes and needs determined an instrument’s popularity. At the time, instruments were highly controversial, especially among specific religious groups.2 The religious restrictions on music occurred in relatively isolated sub- cultures in America, whereas notable sources from Germany would spend a novel’s worth of pages praising how perfect the organ was and would carefully list the detail of instruments’ tuning, mechanisms, and origins.3 When comparing these European instrument lists or collections with confirmed colonial instruments, one finds that very few of the elaborate, most prized instruments were exported to North America. Even outside America’s religious institutions, instruments were sometimes considered profane.4 While some instruments and some musical styles escaped such stigma, other instruments and styles had more ominous ties or were considered inelegant; the violin and fiddle offer one illustration.5 The phenomenon suggests that American society’s acceptance of music may have been a sensitive or subtle affair, as the difference between the violin and fiddle is often described as the fiddle being a poorly crafted violin or, in some cases, as a different musical style performed on the violin.

CHANGES IN PRINT PAPER DURING THE 19TH CENTURY AJ Valente, ([email protected]), President, Paper Antiquities When the first paper mill in America, the Rittenhouse Mill, was built, Western European nations and city-states had been making paper from linen rags for nearly five hundred years. In a poem written about the Rittenhouse Mill in 1696 by John Holme it is said, “Kind friend, when they old shift is rent, Let it to the paper mill be sent.” Today we look back and can’t remember a time when paper wasn’t made from wood-pulp. Seems that somewhere along the way everything changed, and in that respect the 19th Century holds a unique place in history. The basic kinds of paper made during the 1800s were rag, straw, manila, and wood pulp.
